A pro-Palestine protester was caught in a furious meltdown after a police officer accused her of 'cultural appropriation'.
The moment was caught on video at Union Station in Washington DC amid protests reacting to a visit by Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
After being asked if her scarf was 'cultural appropriation', the protester reacted in shock and argued that she was 'trying to stop a genocide'.
'In what way? How is that [the scarf] appropriating Palestinian culture?' she fired back.
The cop asked her to repeat the question and then laughed, responding, 'You tell me.'
